Our code base makes very, very heavy use of macros. I'm attempting to use the method of changing the registry entry for LimitMacroParsing to be 0, but every time I open Visual Studio, the change to the key is reset back to 1.
I'm using Visual Studio 2012. Here's the info from the VAX options page:
VA_X.dll file version 10.8.2036.0 built 2014.05.22
DevEnv.exe version 11.0.61030.0 Professional
msenv.dll version 11.0.61030.0
Comctl32.dll version 6.10.7601.17514
Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1
12 processors (x86-64, WOW64)
Language info: 1252, 0xc0c
Platform: Project defined
Stable Includes:
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Include\\winrt;
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Include\\shared;

Can you please make sure that all instances of the IDE have been closed, and that there are no instances of "devenv.exe" running in the background?
When you close the IDE VA writes out its settings, so if you edit the registry with the IDE open, and then close the IDE, VA will write out its current settings, overwriting your changes. |

| I had already made sure that there were no devenv processes running. With that said, I just tried rebooting my PC (can't believe I hadn't tried that before), and that seemed to fix it. Thanks for the help. |

| I am not sure why you needed to reboot, it sounds like some process had opened the registry and was resetting your changes. I am glad this is now working for you, thank you for the update. |
